Hello!I created this thread to see with what fusion designs people come up with the time.I start with my own.The Firefly:This fusion warship was designed to be as realistic and plausible as possible (theoretical/fundamental wise)The engine has an exhaust velocity 20.1Mm/s (26,7Mm/s max D-He³ exhaust vel.) with an thrust power of 262TW.Resulting with 65,5TW of heat, thanks to the "firefly" design a significant amount of x-ray and neutrons can radiate into the voids of space.The Ship still has to deal with 1,5TW Heat, this is where the four giant radiators come in play, each of them can radiate 430 GW of heat.Delta-v: 10% of CAcceleration: Constant 1G, mass flow gets reduced as ship mass decreases.Armament: 20x Railguns with 171 qs reload time and a velocity of 1.08Mm/s (567J KE per projectile)1x 1GW 41,7% Laser with 10Mm range, (286MW/m² at 10 Mm.)4x Missile Launchers with 5000x NEFP's. Each has a 142T warhead and 12km/s, 30s burn-time. 20 missiles can be launched per second.Armor: An Armor plate in front of the ship, sufficient to protect the ship from heavy kinetic weaponry and minutes of non-modded lasers.The Astronomer

The Astronomer It is because these 25% are 5% Neutrons and 20% X-rays. The rest 75% are helium-4 ions and protons. both charged, they can be channeled through magnetic fields without heating their surrounding.

Wait, shouldn't it be that 75% thermal energy? Anyways, I've modeled both in a blackbox module already.

An interplanetary liner, which is also my favorite one. With that pathetic delta-v of just 2260 km/s, t's not an interstellar spacecraft. It can carry 2 kt of cargo and its crews to any planet in the Solar System.
